ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of some type of
annual plant on the run off and soil erosion that occurred in the village of Batu
Gajah, district Pasir Penyu, district upstream Indragiri Hulu. The research was
carried out at the Balai Benih Induk (BBI) the village of Batu Gajah, district Pasir
Penyu, District Upstream Indragiri Hulu, Riau Province. The research lasted for
four month, from February to May 2016. The research was carried out
experimentally on land with uniform slope (9%) and used a Randomized Block
Design (RBD). The treatment factors are : (P1) = soybean plant, (P2) = peanut
plant, (P3) = corn plant, (P4) = mung bean plant. Data were analyzed with further
test Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the level of 5%. Parameter
observed are rainfall, amount of runoff, soil erosion (sedimentation), infiltration
and soil physical properties. Based on the research that the planting of annual
plant at the level slope of (9%) showed the effect of variation on the run off and
soil erosion (sedimentation), the treatment of mung bean plant is the best effect,
showed that the least amount of run off and soil erosion with 15,22 l/plot and
735,18 g/plot.
Key words : annual plant, run off, slope land, soil erosion.
